Using ESP8266 and ESP Easy for energy/gas meters with S0 interface

[binderth (Thomas Binder)]

I use an energy meter (Eltako WSZ15D-65A) to see, what my whirlpool consumes (spoiler: A LOT!) and my gas provider installed a “BK4” gas meter, which I’d like to read out also.

For that you’ll need:

• Eltako WSZ15D-65A or any other energy meter with an S0 interface
• elster IN-Z61 (or similar) for the gas meter, which basically is a reed contact
• basically every other S0 counter will work
• ESP8266 (I use a D1 Wemos)
• bit of cables

How to put that stuff together I have explained here:

Now, the ESP sends the values to MQTT, so we just need to create MQTT-Things for each information, we like to have in openHAB and link it to a item:

You should have an MQTT-broker thing (called mqttbroker) already in openHAB (or just rename it in the code)

UID: mqtt:topic:mqttbroker:S0counter
label: MQTT S0 Counter
thingTypeUID: mqtt:topic
configuration: {}
bridgeUID: mqtt:broker:mqttbroker

  - id: GasCount
    channelTypeUID: mqtt:number

    channelTypeUID: mqtt:number

    configuration:
      commandTopic: openHAB/S0Counter/Whirlpool/Total
      retained: true
  - id: WhirlpoolTime
    channelTypeUID: mqtt:number
    label: WhirlpoolTime

    configuration:

    label: Whirlpool Watts
    description: null
    configuration:

      retained: true

Now just link the Channels to items and you’re good to go!
